The Vent Thread

[James North]

This is ridiculous.

 

[James North]

If only we could win a flag and then be in a prelim-final the following year. Imagine our forward line!

 

[TheSunGod]

Can we please have some consensus on the idiocy of our current slogan, Adversity breeds success... it's right up there with you can't have your cake and eat it... (well der). And like all other slogans recently has been a harbinger of doom and gloom. Look at whateveritakes, or they can smell us cumming.. or whatever. These are absolute bollocks and in a way have come to define the clubs more pertinently than we would ever have imagined. Adversity does not breed success. Unity breed success, success builds success. A good team builds success... not pithy devisive boardroom wrangling AKA Adversity. That is bluntly a crock of shit. So, for mine, I'm leaning towards something along the lines of "The Lions... we like it both ways". Or something that means something, and nothing at the same time. Thank you, it's been a particularly hard day.

How about "the Lions, we're Tigers in the bedroom... Err I mean boardroom".

 

[Lace Out]

They'll probably slot Dangerfield in there as well.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Gives new meaning to the expression off season

 

[Grizzly86]

We developed our kids through the 92-93-94 drafts to build the premiership era, drafting in Pike and trading for Michael and Brad Scott, yet we were attacked for paying to keep players and lost our allowance...

10 years on the Swans just use their allowance to buy in 2 of the top 5 forwards in the competition, well over their market worth. Absolute garbage.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I could handle Tippett but Buddy as well that is just a Geeup surely. How the bloody hell are they affording this?? Their midfielders must be on nothing.

 

[dlanod]

Ignorance being embraced as something to be proud of.

 

[Hollow Knight]

The fact that one team in a non-AFL state can recruit two of the biggest names in the game in the space of a year and we can't even tempt a fringe player like Luke Delaney...

That's simply depressing.

 

[The Golfing Lion]

Thank god we can't get Delaney!

It is major concern though

 

[Morgs_]

I just want something finalised with regards to players. So frustrating waiting for things to happen. I hate the trade period.

 

[Haso]

I really like short underscores, but boy do I hate long underscores! Stop ruining a perfectly good trade period, long underscores!

 

[Gabbatoir]

Listening to Barrett on Trade Radio yesterday, he seemed to insinuate that Adam Simpson didn't get the Brisbane job because he didn't really want it. If true, fair enough, but it just seems like another 'journalist' sinking the boot into an easy target. I'm sick of these football personalities saying whatever it takes to improve their standing with popular clubs.

Apologies if there is information to the contrary, but it came across as speculation as I heard it.

The term he used in reference to Brisbane was 'basketcase'.

I don't care for Barrett at the best of times, but whilst Angus continues to hold our club to ransom and the fact that more senior coaches were running away from wanting the top job or our club and new coach hasn't been able to convince any one of the sooky 5 to remain at the club, combined with no opposition players wanting to join or nominating us as possible destination; then I fail to see how we are anything but a 'basketcase'.

 

[matwt73]

Isn't 'basketcase' the same term that Gary Lyon used to describe port last year, around about the time they were sorting out their board and appointing a new and untried coach.

I'm happy to share that title then.

Phew. For a second, there, I thought you said Baseketball.

Hard to argue against any of that.

But I do prefer this interpretation!

Reported to mods for continued abused of this great fillum.

 

[greendiesel]

These kids that are homesick. FFS don't give them what they want, lest we are doomed to re-live the same problem every year.
Play hard ball if we don't get the trade we want. I'd rather some of these sooks go for nothing into the pre-season draft rather than getting some spud or shizenhousen draft pick. If Yeo thought it was hard to get back to WA we would be able to keep him. We need to send a clear message NOW. Homesick ?...harden up princesses...you're playing a game you love for lots of money. Stay at Brisbane ..or roll the dice.

 

[jackess]

From the AFL website

2.12pm: A small win for the Giants. Key defender Justin Clarke, 19, is set to buck the trend of homesick youngsters and sign a three-year deal with the club.

 

[patfullfankezz]

People going on with this "home sick sooks" crap. My father moved us all to be closer to his parents. Why? To provide a better life for us kids where we had close family nearby. You all going to call my father a sooky mummys boy just because he and my mother did what they thought was best for the family?!

Completely different situation kezz, by entering the draft they are commiting to going to an AFL club and get good $ to do what they love.
